Hello

IHS is £470 per year,however with a 1year course you will typically get an additional 4months visa so you would have to pay for that as well

Here's a link , if you go through it and input your details you will know what your IHS will be

https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/how-much-pay

Cheers

Oh 4 months additional 🤔
Pls how did this come by?

Guys Pls what's the current IHS fee for one applicant? I once read 470£ I read somewhere else 704£.
For a year course tho

olola4:


Yes!

So that you can start your processing “BEFORE THE RUSH”

Thank you

olola4:


No! You can only travel one month before your course start date.

That should be around August 20 for most schools, you can check your own start date.

Thank you for your response.
So the benefit of receiving CAS early is basically early visa approval and early booking of flight, right?

Hi guys,

Pls Is it possible for those who have received CAS ahead of September intake to travel once visa is approved? If their visa is approved in May, can they travel in June?

Hi guys,

Pls does the UKVI check with the bank after submitting bank statement to be sure the funds is stil there? I want to know why people use 2 months for their POF

bodmas8080:


Normally, UK POF is 28 days, You can print your statement on May 30 or 31, 31 preferably and make sure it's stamped

You can start your Visa application immediately and uploading follows.

If this is your first time of applying for Visa application, you can opt for assisted service but the visa application is straight and the procedure is not technical and it's something you can do yourself.

Alright.
Thank you Bodmas. It's my first application also

Hi dduchess90

Pls I need guidance on this to better understand, for someone planning to run POF on May 1st.

Which date should visa application be?
When should uploading of documents be?
Which date should printing account statement be?
Which date should biometrics be?

Which is advisable, assisted service or self service?
Thank you

Hello

Introduction letters are not needed, neither is the offer letter..just stick to the documents stated in your CAS

2. 5months gap is okay, you don't need to provide any evidence of activities

Cheers

Thank you duchess
CAS stated They've seen WAEC and first degree.
That's all that should be uploaded? 🤔

Hi guys,

Pls what's the importance of using introduction letters as part of visa application process?

Can offer letters just suffice? Meanwhile, I have work gap for roughly 5 months before officially working back in 2017

Let me just say this, not coming here to drop the good news as I dropped on my school groups will be ungrateful of me.

The day the journey started which was last year October. I always sleep here on nairaland, reading and asking questions. Untill someone asked question about my school group if he/she could be added there. Someone replied him/her to search on telegram group. I did instantly as well, my school group made me to forget about nairaland uk student visa information. All the info I needed was gotten from the telegram group, from the same telegram group got a link to whatsApp group; already network with amazing people there who are also aspiring students and senior students colleagues.

So I'm here to appreciate everyone who has been answering questions and helping with infos here.

I can't believe this cos since 2016 when I was having my siwes, I do normally come on travel section to read how people are getting visa and how some are getting denier. US, UK, Canada, Germany and so others. Always telling my self then God when, cos I don't have any hope.

My own journey still dey shock me because I don't have #1 in my account. I just applied to school with faith, conditional and unconditional came out and GOD did his miracle to this final stage. God I'm grateful sir and I will forever be grateful. To those expecting their visa or planning to make this same move. It's Done!

The God that did it for me will do you people's own too. God bless us all.


See y'all in the UK!

Glorryyy!!!! Congratulations Godfavour.
Pls which school was the application for? I love your faith o, apparently you started building POF before CAS dropped, even with deposit just paid.

Thortp:
It's advisable to go there and book onsite.
Better still consider St Nicholas Hospital

Thank you

Hi everyone.
Pls anyone with a contact phone number to call at IOM Lagos office? (The numbers online are not responsive, I've called over and over). I've also sent a mail though, but from experience it takes days to get a response.

I tried booking my tb test online but it says this.
I cant seem to find a way around it from here, each time I try rebooking, it gets to this stage and shows the same thing.

amnwa:


Sorry it's Leeds trinity university

Oh alright. Thank you

amnwa:
Please which of these universities is the best in terms of getting jobs and cost of living.

York st john university Fees :12500

Are these for UK students or International students?
I confirmed for Leeds, the amount there is for home students.

Kbs468:

Hello Bukky. Quite an age. How are you doing and what's up with you now?

Hi Kbs, I'm doing well.
All is fine too

Sam8891:
Please What school offer this amount Please?

Co-asking please.

Mcleo007:



I guess at some point in the past, it was required. Moreso, i read somewhere it is required for Work visa, but it doesnt apply here.

Ciao!

Gracias!

Mcleo007:



You don't need police clearance for submission to UKVI if that's why you're asking. It's useless!

Ciao!

Sorry, just to be clear. Why then do people advise so?

Mattmich:
Sorry for responding late, the answer to your question is NO. IHS and VISA are paid on black market basis

Paying through dollar or pounds card.
Does it suffice?

Focus99:
Sussex

Thank you

Focus99:
I'm expected to pay 34% of the tuition balance by mid October.

Tuition is 22,500
Deposit is £2000
Discount £2000 - £3000
No payment on enrollment but expected to pay 34% by mid October. What if I can't meet up to 34% by October? But I can afford monthly payment, I really want to finish the school not switching.

I will surely pay my tuition but I pray and I hope they won't stress and block my portal if I default by the way.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

Pls which school is this.
Thank you

Bourne007:
If your student visa gets refused, a refund will be processed.

Do you still wanna hear more? 🤔

Phenmeson:


Refunds can be various ways like
-Getting refund for IHS/Visa application fee if you want to cancel your application.
-Getting IHS refund if applicant was refused visa.
-Getting IHS refund if applicant work in health or care sector.

Oh Thank you.
Clear now.

Focus99:
Yes, deposit is now 3k...50% is still required on enrollment.

Thank you

Phenmeson:


Do flutter still works for IHS & Visa fees?
Do you know how much you were charged?
For the refund, they should refund it back to your Flutter or ATM card link to your account.

I hear this refund often. Could you Pls educate me what it means? Like get IHS fees and visa fees refunded to which account?
Thank you

dukeofmilan19:
Good Evening house!

I was given a conditional offer by London Metropolitan University. Part of the conditions is that a pass a Compliance Interview.
Please has anyone gone through this interview before? What and what did they ask?
Thanks 🙏

Also scheduled for compliance interview. Early next month. When is yours?

Kenny4smart:


Sheffield Hallam University have increased their initial deposit to £3k. That information you so read is correct.
Remember you will also need to pay additional £5k on enrollment bringing total fee paid to £8k before resuming classes and this payment is non negotiable, the uni has one of the most stringent rules concerning tuition fees.
Goodluck.

Thank you
